The pilot includes face-to-face mediation supervised by independent, experienced, and skilled mediators as well as other means of accessing the service. All parties must agree to mediation. The pilot is not being offered where there is clear evidence that the donor has been abused (where the matter must be referred to the Court of Protection) or where there is evidence of criminality so that the police must be involved.
